"The Traveler"


Hard work is a choice.  Everyone has the ability to work hard but it is not a trait that only some people possess, rather it is a conscious decision to increase your effort.  You either want it or you don't.  Many defining moments in people's lives stand at a fork in the road when they were either willing to sacrifice something and work as hard as they could or settle for the easy way out.  This was one of those workouts that required hard work.  You can cheat your reps or not use proper form but you are only cheating yourself.

Today's Board

There are 5 pairs of exercises, the top exercise is done using a heavier weight for strength.  Each of these exercises was done 8 times for the first round, 6 times for the second round and 4 times for the 3rd round (increasing weight each time)
The bottom exercise on each pair is done immediately after the first.  All were done 15 times except chinups which were only done 10 times.
